On This Date

Finally, the 8 year wait was over and the ultra-enthusiastic polish fans got their chance to experience another U2 show on polish soil. It was worth it to wake up at 4 a.m, to travel almost 400 kms and to be early enough to get near the stage. Although the rain showers mared supports' performances it didn't wash away the emotions of U2-hungry audience. When the show started it was clear that the rain caused problems with the LED screen as it was absent for the first eight songs. Nevertheless the crowd went crazy from the first notes of "Vertigo" with the peak of emotions during "New Year's Day" when live polish flag was created by fans in the field and in the stands. Bono was clearly touched by the crowd reaction as he turned his black jacket inside-out and put it on the red side becoming part of the flag.
It's pointless to describe every song as no words can express the feelings, the emotions and the thrills I experienced with every note of the concert. For me the highlights were "Zoo Station" and "With or without you". "Zoo Station" rocked!!! I went double crazy on this one. I didn't expect them to play it ever again after Zoo TV tour and now I heard it live!!!!!! Amazing. "With or without you" put tears in my eyes. I love this tune and I realised that I could travel thousand miles only to hear this song.
